BALLISTIC AMMO............RELOAD WEAPON
Coordinating the arms of mercenary and corporate forces during the Great Uprising had WCG researchers scrambling to solve their logistical problems. Their solution was modular, generic casings and projectiles loaded with mission-specific ordnance payloads. "Blank bullets" allowed modular components to adapt and reload any ballistic weapon on the battlefield.
Hint: Reloading a weapon takes time: Plan accordingly.
cell
ENERGY CELL.................RELOAD WEAPON
Governments and markets welcomed the emergence of the World Coalition Government, or were crushed beneath it. As hostilities subsided the WCG began to standardize "fundamental technical elements" across all market regions. The ubiquitous Energy Cell has replaced all other portable power sources.
Hint: Reloading a weapon takes time: Plan accordingly.

hypo
HYPO SPRAY.................RECOVER HEALTH

A weakness of the cloaking effect is that the wearer becomes visible for a moment during physical contact with non-phased bodies.
Hint: 30 seconds begins upon pickup: Plan accordingly.

FORCE SHIELD................BULLET BARRIER
The Force Shield surrounds the body of the wearer and absorbs the impact of any projectile that strikes it. The Shield can only absorb a limited amount of punishment before it collapses; as it grows weaker its intensity fades.
Hint: Picking up a shield will cause you to discard your current shield forever.
